SKETCH OF THE LIFE
OF STATES RIGHTS GIS1
An Interesting Sketch Written bj
Mrs. Ann Hames Eison for the
John Hames Chapter, U. I).
CM of Jonesvilie, S. C.
v __________
(Union, S. C., June 17, 1910)
States Rights Gist, the subject o:
thi sketch, was born in Union dis
trict, S. C., Sept. 31, 1831. His pa
rents were Nathaniel and Elizabetl
McDaniel Gist. As his name implie:
he was born about the time the ques
tion of State's Rights was agitated
His early education was receive<
under the management of Mr. Jos
Foster, a Northern man who wa
known as Yankee Joe Foster, fathe
of Capt. A. H. Foster, who was. i
gallant Confederate soldier, still liv
ing at Union.
Mr. Jos. Foster was employed t<
teach near the Gist homestead, nov
owned by Mr. Free, and is one o
the few grand old country homes o
ante helium days that is kept in j
line state of preservation.
Perhaps Miss Boyson did not knov
when she wrote her essay and ex
pressed her opinion on the ignorano
of the South that before the wa
many of the Southern children wen
educated by Northern teachers. T
my own knowledge there were fiv
teachers and perhaps more wlv
taught at Union courthouse and sur
rounding country who came from th
North.
States Rights Gist at an early ag'
went to the Fitting School at Winns
boro, S. C., then in 1841) entered ?h
S. C. College, graduated with dis
;n iar..> u:..u u
entered the Law School at Harvarc
graduated from there in 1854, cam
to Union and commenced the prae
tice of his profession with Mr. B. F
Arthur under the name of Arthur ?!
Gist. About this time his militar;
career commenced by his being elec
ted captain of the Johnson Rifles
named for Gov. Johnson, who pre
sented the company with rifles.
In 18(50 he formed a partnershi
with Mr. Wm. Munro, which ende
at the beginning of the war betwee
the States. When Mr. Wm. H. Gis
was Governor from 1858 to 18(>(
States Gist was sent by him to confe
with seven Governors of the South
ern States in regard to secession.
In 1859 he was elected Brigadie
General of the militia of upper Sout
Carolina. In December, 1860, th
legislature elected him Adjutant an
Inspector General of the State, wh'.c
position he held until 1861, wbe
President Davis appointed him Brie
adier General of the Confederat
States army. He was Dlaced in com
mand on James Island and the cit
of Charleston. He fought in the hai
tie of Secessionville. In May, 186;
his command was ordered to th
western army. Just as he was lea\
ing the State he was married to Mis
Janie Adams, a daughter of ex-Go^
Adams. He remained with the wes(
ern army and was killed at the ba1
tie of Franklin, Tenn., Nov. 30, 186'

In a report of Col. Ellison Capers,
C who commanded the 24th S. C. regiment,
says of Gen. Gist, while twenty
ir thousand men were marching in perfect
order against the enemy, every c
man inspired to do his duty, Gen. 1
Gist rode along the line, waved his *
hat to us and expressed his pride and 0
PAnfiflpn/'P in fVrn rntri monf '111A ^
. rode away in the smoke of battle in
advance of his men never more to be ^
seen of them, those that he had Jed j.
and commanded in so many battles. t
I The battle was won, but Gist was c
s dead, llis remains were brought |
back and lie buried in Trinity church
j yard, Columbia, S. C.
Gen. John C. Bowen, of Tennessee, ,,
' who also left records of Gen. Gist, ^
* says, "a gentleman, a brave and gal1
lant soldier killed in advance of his
1 men." The loss of officers and men
in Gist's brigade was very great. One ^
who participated in that battle says, g
' "across the barren plain marched to
p death and glory were Gens. Adams, '
. Straghl, Gist and Wright. Col.
Caners was wounded in this
A battle and was made Brigadier General.
After the war he became the '
v beloved bishop of the Episcopal
church and died a grand soldier of
e the cross.
1 Our cause was just. The record (
e we made is imperishable and so long ^
" as time endures, in every age and
(> every clime, the soldiers of the
? Southern Confederacy will live in *
song and story the peers of the j
e bravest and proudest in the annals j
of time.

AT CEASAR'S HEAD
<*?!
(By N. O. Pyles, Columbia, S. C.jfy
'Tis evening at Ceasar's Head,
South Carolina. The beautiful sun;et
and cool, crisp air betokened a
lear night. The tinkling of the bells
>f the "cows coming home" from
idown the mountains sides have
eased, and the barnyard fowls to
heir perch have gone. The foxes
lave left their dens and the owls
heir hiding places. Ten thousand
itars o'erhead "twinkle like diamonds
n the sky."
Here, perhaps, in the distant past,
iround the camp-fires of the red man,
ind the stillness of the night oft was
iroken by the hideous yells of the
lancing warriors.
From this eminence are seen many
ilectric lights at different points
;he line of the Southern Railway,
lending forth their brilliant rays
iretty villages, towns and cities.
The ever restless waters of the
tear-by falls are distinctly heard
